5 OS pleasures in your day today - part 3

thechubbyunicorn

Oh kitten I’m so sorry to hear about your little ferret. Sending bug hugs.. Frith - how are you finding the split? I’ve recorded all this series but haven’t had a chance to start watching it yet. VJ - glad your supervision went well, 7 weeks will fly by! Thanks for the link Lainey, I’m going to listen to that tomorrow, love his voice too. Bala - sorry your brother is having a difficult time, he’s very lucky to have someone as lovely as you that cares about him and wants to help.

Yesterday’s pleasures: 

1. Out for a few hours at my new job doing homecare. It certainly makes me appreciate how lucky I am that I can do everything for myself and don’t need someone to help me out of bed or to get washed. Such a pleasure to be able to help other people. 

2. Used a voucher I had got for Christmas for a Scottish afternoon tea. It was absolutely delicious. We had haggis bon bons, sandwiches, Tunnocks tea cake (my fave!), swiss roll, shortbread, tablet & Tunnocks caramel log washed down with a diet irn bru. So simply yet so yummy! 

3. Got an email at my main job tonight - management have asked me to become a trainer so I can support colleagues with some of the mandatory courses we have to do. I’m so chuffed they’ve asked me as it is a big responsibility. It’s not really my kind of thing but I think I might say yes as I’ve lost a lot of confidence over the last couple of years and this would give me a good push to get me back out there instead of shying away from everything / everyone. 

4. Ordered some vouchers to put in with my mum’s birthday gift. I’m really more into experiences as opposed to ‘stuff’ these days so I’ve got her tickets to a musical at the local theatre and also a massage (hoping she takes me along to both of these) as well as a voucher for a cheese and wine night. Pleased that this year I haven’t bought her some useless rubbish that will just end up stuffed in a drawer

5. A big hug from Mr Unicorn, I’d been out all day and it felt so good to be home with him. He really is my best friend and I just love him so much. It’s good for us to do our own things but really I just want to be home with him. 

ampersand

1. Aisle seat 05C>Marseille(no 2nd 's' en français) and & is in it :-)))))))))))
2. Much much much flying about, including driving young person to rugby training Tuesday night, only to learn it was cancelled. Ah well....he is still keen and club are putting some graphic design ideas his way, input and execution.   Fingers x'd.
3. Car safe last night at rugby club until rtn Tuesday. 
4. Rhubarb and ginger Edinburgh gin, a duty free extra for M's anniversaire.   Have been at Stansted since 11pm last night.  No other way from Fenny places:-), but met 2 interesting people, older female, young man music graduate, begins RAF pilot training August, bop.  Lots of people likewise overnighting.
5. Oh, flight barely half full, so & has moved to window on a gorgeous morning.  France, ma belle, mon terroir d'âme, j'arrive bientôt:-)

villagelife

1. A fairly good day at work. Kept myself to myself.
2. Daffodils on our road look wonderful.
3. Went to buy shampoo as we had none left and pleased there was some left at a price I wanted to pay. No toilet paper, kitchen roll, pasta, soap, flour and shelves looking empty generally. 
4. My spice jars have arrived. I'm going to use them for spices I had to buy in Turkey.
5. The cockerel is looking starting to grow feathers and is looking much better.

So sorry to hear about your little one PK.
Any mutual friends who can check in on brother Bala?
Happy travels &.
For yesterday,
Beautiful sunny day, very springlike, windows opened to air house.

Off to see practitioner for treatment on shoulder, stiff and sore for months, going back to fall from girlie last autumn.

She used black pepper & ginger essential oils, very warming.

Few light chores done in afternoon, muscles sore and on advice kept well hydrated.

Mini roast for tea, chicken with various vegetables.

Dumped BoPsie at her salt mine this morning and went to A!D1. Wes has the Buzzard Storma for dinner. Chicken diced, toe nail onions, with Korma sauce and extra chilli. Got it. It will remains on the stove to brew. Also at A!D1 they had bog rolls. Unlike some of mes buckface fiends who say w8rz has run out.

Usual lunch plate of Toms, cucumber and ham, with strawbs and raspberries as well. One wafer and too cakes of Jaffa too boot!

Watching Mr A. Cooke. America. Looks like the BoP Tour is going to be delayed. No news yet, but sitting it out. Very good. Did not realise he could also play The Blues! Cords not the dancing hand!

Really cheery conductor on the DLR
Found another new CS - dropped off a full bag
Binge watched a German series - 8 Days (a large meteor is coming & you have 8 days). It was absolutely brilliant - thought provoking & hopefully not a foretaste of what is to come if the coronavirus gets going ☹️

Reading your pleasures

Hello. Wild weather again here, much rain and very windy.

Rubbish sleep but think I’d too much caffeine yesterday...note to self! Woke having a dream that Oh was in and I knew we didn’t have long ( I always dream him like that now) and felt such profound loss when I woke up. Horrid. 

Anyway..had a shower, was wrapped in a towel when the window cleaner arrived! Waaah! Threw myself under the quilt! 

Up to Glasgow for hospital. Got the bus. Stopped at favourite doughnut shop had a lovely doughnut and a peppermint tea. Used yesterday’s tips and bought a Rtc phone case in Cath Kidston. Much admiration of my bag which is an older Cath K bag! Another bus out to hospital...much people watching. Taken straight away. Sigh! More referrals ( this was a referral) to be made. But he was a thoroughly nice chap and very honest which is always good I think. No point sugar coating stuff.

Had soup ( which has given me rotten heartburn) and then bus back into city and then a crazy bus all the way home. Quite a few odd bods! Had to nip into friends for the use of their loo...DD2 was not for paying 30p for a pee at bus station! Anyway nice chat with them.

Home and son was already home and drove me down to other end of town to pick up some bedside tables. 

Hot shower and Jim jams on! The window cleaner will be back round to be paid!

Good evening all, pleasures for yesterday.....

A quiet morning, all laundry done and an empty laundry basket (won't last long)

Into work to find we'd had our "inspection" visit from the environmental health dept. The highest possible score was given so owners (husband and wife) were both pleased. 

Tips were good - they've been a bit on the low side the last week or so. Possibly people staying in due to Covid-19? We've definitely been a bit quieter lately.

Home to a lovely warm house then hot bath and pjs on after dinner

Reading in bed. I was reading for longer than I intended to because I was enjoying the book but when I was small my mum used to make me turn the light out at bed time. I have ADHD and could be awake for hours after "lights out" so I used to read under the covers with a torch. It's much better to be able to read sitting up in bed with the lamp on 

P_k  I'm sorry that your little friend didn't make it.

Thanks for the kind comments, the price of bad breeding and or cruelty is very real, but I would rather we had them for a short time of wonderful life and love rather than they are left. The hurt is because we love them they are literally family.

1 I am still in awe of how the animals pull together to cheer us up. 

2 Not the best time to run out of Camomile tea, I picked a packet up from Mr T and there may have been some 50p profiteroles but there won’t be much longer.

3 A lot of beautiful wildlife in the garden and a right mix of weather, fed the pond fish that are a bit more lively. 

4 Camomile tea is a pleasure.

5 I gave up doing anything that required brain power today as I couldn’t concentrate,  I am also about to invest 99p in a very light weight easy to read kindle read, seems to be called I think a “cozy book”?

Frith

PK - hope you're OK.
Chubby Unicorn - I like the Split and don't know what to move on to next.
Pleasures for today (Thursday)
1) Not a bad sleep.
2) Hens OK.
3) A good tidy of downstairs including dusting, hoovering and steaming the floors.
4) BSD day 4 went OK.
5) Babysat small niece.
Worrying news about the corona virus. All UK school trips abroad have been banned, so it looks like bigger son's job in France will not last much longer.
